Every year at this time I like to give a holiday gift to
each of the yoga teachers who instructs at Shree.
They are all amazing people, teachers, yogis and the life blood of the
studio. I honor them and appreciate
their integrity, trustworthyness, excellence, training and friendship. Many have been teaching at Shree for 10 - 15+
years. I wanted to give something
sustainable - something that doesn’t come with a big carbon footprint,
packaging and plastic wrap, something that had meaning.
I asked each teacher what charity I could
donate to on their behalf to show my gratitude.
Their choices were inspiring: Ocean Conservancy, Alzheimer’s Foundation,
Natural Resources Defense Council and more.
I became more aware that there are so many people doing good with tremendous
generosity in this world: people helping people, the environment, animals and much
more.
Consider giving sustainably this holiday season. Most of us
don't need more stuff. Yoga makes a great gift, or a donation to charity in
honor of someone....here's to help you choose a well rated charity if that's
where you decide to give.
And, if you live near Saddle River, NJ, consider giving yoga
at Shree:
Happy Holidays!
Love and blessings to you and yours,
Chaya
